Where people live matters to their health. Health improvement strategies often target where people live, but do they work? Placing Health tackles this question through an examination of England's Neighborhood Renewal Strategy and its health targets. The book evaluates the evidence-base for the strategy and illustrates the relevance of complexity theory to area-based health improvement work.
